Even if you don't talk about official positions, the old man Zhang Khan is almost eighty this year, and Yuan Shuji is also an old man who is close to seventy, Cui Geng said this, it can be said that he is not polite to the extreme!

The envoy of Fusang and the courtiers did not know what was going on, so he took the opportunity to fan the flames and said: "Zhang Xiangye, did you see it?" In front of you, this Cui Erlang is so arrogant. Then when he carries you on his back, can he still get it? It can be seen from this that about Li Yong's case, now that black and white are clear, you have to call the shots for the little envoy! ”

Zhang Cambodia nodded and said, "Well, don't worry." My Great Zhou is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the state of etiquette, and I will not let your envoy suffer! ”

"Thank you Zhang Xiangye, thank you Zhang Xiangye!"

With Zhang Cambodia's assurance, the courtiers were full of smiles and happy fart.

However, he soon stopped laughing.

I saw Zhang Cambodia greeting Yuan Shuji, walked a few steps, came to Cui Geng's face, patted him on the shoulder, and talked to him in a low voice.

The voice was very low, and the courtiers couldn't hear what the three people were talking about, but they could only see Zhang Cambodia's harmonious face and look embarrassed; Yuan Shuji's face was full of unnaturalness, and he seemed to be desperately explaining; And Cui Geng raised his eyebrows, his face full of resentment.

The courtier couldn't help but think in his heart, what's going on? Could it be that Cui Geng, a small fourth-grade official, dared to challenge the authority of the two prime ministers?

Well, I understand, this Cui Erlang is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how important it is. But Zhang Cambodia is scheming, hiding a knife in his smile, just like the treacherous "Li Mao" Li Yifu a few decades ago. Later, he will definitely give Cui Erlang a good look.

The courtier Zhenren cheered himself up while nervously watching the progress of the matter.

After a while, sure enough, Zhang Cambodia began to speak sharply, blowing his beard and glaring; Cui Geng's momentum weakened, and he looked extremely depressed. On Yuan Shuji's side, he frequently bowed his head and showed a satisfied smile.

Finally, the three of them finished talking, and Zhang Cambodia walked in his direction with a smile on his face.

Zhang Cambodia's Zhidao: "Regarding the case of your envoy, the prime minister, Yuan Xiang and Cui Fengchen have already discussed a result, and I have come to inform your envoy. ”

"Huh? This...... Results so quickly? The courtier Zhenren was surprised and said, "Shouldn't you ask the envoy's opinion on this matter first?" ”

When Zhang Khan heard this, his old face suddenly became cloudy, and he said: "I am the prime minister of the Heavenly Empire, can't I still enforce the law impartially?" When your envoy says this, can't you trust the old man, or can't you trust me Da Zhou? ”

"The little envoy doesn't dare."

"If you don't dare." Zhang Cambodia's expression was a little gloomy at this time, and he said: "Now you listen, your ship capsized and the goods were lost, if you want to say that Li Yong did it, there is really no definite evidence." I Da Zhou governs the country according to the law, and I can't just enter people to commit crimes! So, we're ready to release Li Yong. ”

"I'm not convinced!" As soon as the courtier Zhenren heard this, he was stunned at that time, and said: "If you can't cure Li Yong's crime, then my goods of 300 yuan will be in vain?" This is how you Heavenly Empire decided the case? No, I want to see you Da Zhou Tianzi and make it clear! ”

Zhang Cambodia said in a deep voice: "Your envoy said that, but it is not interesting. Is it possible that whoever you say stole your goods is whoever stole your goods. Only in this way can our Great Zhou be called the Heavenly Empire? If this is the case, this Heavenly Empire is probably not as good as a small country, so we don't want to do it! ”

Yuan Shuji also sneered: "As for you want to seek revenge from our Great Zhou Tianzi...... That's no problem. Wait, the Prime Minister will report your request, and in ten or eight years, when His Majesty is free, he may summon you. ”

Ten years, eight years? Can Wu Zetian live for ten or eight years? This is clearly perfunctory.

Seeing that the two prime ministers of the Great Zhou were so tough, the courtier Zhenren suddenly wilted like a deflated ball, and said pitifully: "That...... Then you can't just let the little envoy go back, right? I really can't explain it to me~ The lord of Japan! ”

"Hmph, what Japan? It's clearly a Japanese country! ”

"All right, Wakoku." The courtier Zhenren was in no mood to argue about the name of Fusang now, and said: "That little envoy really can't explain to my Wa King, and ask the two prime ministers to be kind and give the little envoy a way to live." ”

"Hmph, wouldn't it be over if you said that earlier? He is not an unreasonable person. Zhang Cambodia softened his tone and said, "The capsizing of your ship has something to do with Li Yong's invitation to drink. Although he can't be punished for his crimes, he still has to pay for it......"

When the courtier Zhenren heard this, he was really overjoyed and said, "Really? Three million dollars of property, and ten ships of the sea, can you pay me back? ”

"You want to be beautiful!"

"Huh? Isn't it? ”

Zhang Khan Zhizhi: "How much money is on the ship, it is really impossible to verify, so I won't give this money." In this way, let Li Yong compensate you for ten big ships and send you back to Fusang, right? ”

"That'...... Okay, that's all there is to it. ”

Zhang Cambodia slapped him, gave a sweet date, slapped him again, and gave a sweet date. After a few moves, he immediately transferred the courtiers to a real person~ and taught them to be obedient, and nodded in agreement.

However, it turns out that the courtier real person is still too sweet.

At this time, Zhang Cambodia was secretly praising in his heart, high! Cui Erlang's idea is really high! Benxiang just said that Li Yong would pay for the boat and send them back to Fusang, but he didn't say that it would definitely be delivered, right? The sea is windy and the waves are strong, and there are so many shipwrecks, if they can't be delivered, they will die in the belly of the fish, you can't blame me Da Zhou, right?

Zhang Khan was secretly happy in his heart, but Cui Geng's mood was really not very happy.

Just now, Yuan Shuji invited Zhang Cambodia to be a middleman and proposed a quid pro quo to him: at the cost of not pursuing Li Yong's case, in exchange for turning a blind eye to Xu Yuanqing's case.

Although Yuan Shuji did not say it explicitly, the fact that Xu Yuanqing was killed has been revealed.

In fact, Cui Geng was not sure what role Yuan Shuji played in Xu Shuang's case. Kill people and kill people, push the boat down the river, or is it rare to be confused?

But now, Xu Yuanqing is dead, he can be 100% sure: Yuan Shuji knows that Xu Shuang is wronged, and he wants to kill people. Later, because he was worried that Xu Shuang would know something, he killed people directly!

Cui Geng couldn't help but secretly said in his heart, Yuan Shuji, Yuan Shuji, you are too underestimated of me, Cui someone. Xu Yuanqing, in a sense, is my Cui Geng's life-saving benefactor. The grace of saving life is like re-creation, if I have a little conscience, how can I let him die in vain?

Thinking of this, Cui Geng pretended to accept Zhang Cambodia's proposal, and at the same time secretly decided that he must find a way to avenge Xu Yuanqing.

Of course, Yuan Shuji is one of the "Five Kings" in the future, and he has a very high status in the Tai~Zi Party. Cui Geng wants to fight him to the death, and no one will understand the death of Xu Yuanqing, a common man. For the sake of today's plan, he can only slowly distance himself from Yuan Shuji first, and then gradually show that he is incompatible with him.

As for now, Cui Geng's top priority is to settle Li Yong first.

Zhang Cambodia was a good talker, and immediately released Li Yong.

Three days later, Wu Zetian summoned Li Yong. The monarch and the ministers asked right, and Her Majesty the Empress was very satisfied, and named him the right relics and enshrined inside.

Wu Zetian once "picked up the amount of the legacy", and a right gleaning is really not so rare. However, the addition of "inner worship" is very unusual, which means that this person can often serve in front of Wu Zetian, and he can be regarded as one of the close ministers of the Son of Heaven. Li Yong this time, it can really be regarded as a step to the sky.

The envoy of Fuso, the courtier, was very lucky. He did not go back to Fusang with the 500 Fusang people on the ship of Li Yong's compensation, but continued to stay in Luoyang and worked hard to bring the "Prince of Otomo" back to Fusang.

Time flies, and another month passes. On this day, Cui Geng was summoned by Li Xian to the Prince's East Palace.

After retiring the maids and servants who were waiting, Li Xian's first sentence surprised Cui Geng: "Cui Aiqing, the reason why King Gu came to you today is to ask you to check...... Who killed Run'er? ”

"Huh? Who killed it? Cui Geng was puzzled: "Isn't it the Zhang brothers?" ”
